Inevitably, the surprise sent fans into a frenzy, with people wasting no time heading to socials to share their very mixed reactions. And let’s just say, not everyone is ready to sing along.

“Glee only works bc it is a byproduct of the purgatory that is the end of the 00s”
The problem with a Glee reboot is that Glee only works bc it is a byproduct of the purgatory that is the end of the 00s. The sheen of the 2008 crash, the 1st Obama presidency, and the intro of the iPhone create such a specific atmosphere under which Glee’s zanyness could thrive.

“Unfortunately we no longer exist under such conditions”
this fundamentally just won’t work because glee originally aired in such a specific and perfect time in pop culture and unfortunately we no longer exist under such conditions https://t.co/EVTxaYHYk1

“How foolish of us to be so naive when we knew Ryan Murphy continued to roam this earth with access to the glodes”
and to think we spent years saying “thank god this song came out after glee ended”… how foolish of us to be so naive when we knew ryan murphy continued to roam this earth with access to the glodes (glee nuclear codes) pic.twitter.com/W9FSXrqqKj

But it wasn’t all doom and gloom, as other fans are already putting together the proposed setlist for the reboot.

But ultimately, as one fan put it:
the thing we have to remember about the glee reboot is it’s not supposed to be good it’s supposed to be glee
